One good thing has come out of me being laid up with a broken wrist that will take months to return to normal, if it even does (sorry I’ve been so quiet but that’s the reason), is I’ve had plenty of time to introduce myself to the world of Dark Shadows. I know there are…
I never watched LOST the first time around, so recently went through all six series, and I couldn’t help viewing some of the show through a writer’s perspective. Warning: Spoilers. Imperfect? Perhaps. I certainly had issues with the way certain characters died. I couldn’t quite believe Charlie’s death. What? He couldn’t make it out of…

As much as I like taking a holiday, I…
I must confess this is anything but horror related. I rarely showcase or recommend something I’ve bought, but I’m blown away by the work created by Geode Girl, an artist living in London. She creates fabulous pieces inspired by nature using resin and crystals. This decorative and useful selection of art is more amazing in…
